Christian Barr

Christian Barr (Wildwood, AB) moved from the inner-city to a foothills wilderness setting to facilitate a lifestyle which revolves around the making of wood-fired pottery. He and his partner have hand-built a studio, home, and kilns that are off the grid and rely on wood fuel and solar power. In 2009, Christian was presented with the Alberta Craft Council’s Linda Stanier and Family Memorial Award for Excellence in Ceramics.
